Cuba reinforces epidemiological surveillance at ports of entry.

To date, Cuba has not made the decision to close our borders to travelers from any country, but careful follow-up has been established for all passengers, especially those arriving from high risk nations.

At Havana's José Martí International Airport, the flow of travelers continues to be normal, and no flights have been cancelled, to date. Surveillance measures, however, are being reinforced, based on the confirmation of Covid-19 cases in Cuba.

Cuban international medical brigades focused on solidarity and caution.

All 28,268 members of Cuba’s 61 medical brigades working abroad are free of the coronavirus, reports Dr. Jorge Hidalgo Bustillo, director of the Medical Collaboration Central Unit.

For those who love their family members and their compatriots, the spreading Covid-19 pandemic is cause for alarm, given the risk faced by the more than 28,000 Cuban health workers serving on missions around the world.

But it seems that their solidarity and internationalist vocation has been, thus far, a moral repellent.
